DOM Watcher

The DOM Watcher View is used to track DOM Events that target a given DOM Node. The developer can select a Node and start or stop watching DOM events. Each DOM event targeting the selected Node will be listed in the table area with information about the type, a timestamp, and detailed information (if available).

To start watching the events for a DOM Node:

Select the Node using the [dominspect.html DOM Inspector] or [mozbrowser.html Ctrl-Click Selection] feature of the Browser. This will show the Node in the ComboBox of the DOM Watcher View.

Press the toolbar button to start watching.

To stop watching the events for a DOM Node:

Select the Node using the ComboBox of the DOM Watcher View.

Press the toolbar button to stop watching.

For a list of DOM Event types that the DOM Watcher support open the Settings dialog by going to the view's menu . This dialog allows the developer to select which Event types will be observed by the DOM Watcher.
